In the Making: What Do You Do?

Monday, October 22, 2007

What do you do when the human heart is

no longer humane?

Or when forgiveness is an attribute of the weak?

What do you do when people take more than give?

Or when the justice system is unjust?

What do you do when love is hateful,

And deceit is strength?

What do you do when the truth is a lie?

Or when the world goes forward and people go backward?

What do you do when friendship is not caring?

Or when time is not patient?

What do you do when change stays the same?

I think it's better to say:when justice is unjust,and when truth is a lie rather than "the truth".; October 29, 2007 at 12:20 PM
